Se l'uns des amans est loiax,E li autre est jalox è faus,Si est amors entr'ex fausée,Ne puet avoir lunge durée.Amors n'a soing de compagnun,Boin amors n'est se de Dex nun,De cors en cors, de cuer en cuer,Autrement n'est prex à nul fuer.Tulles qui parla d'amistié,Dist assés bien en son ditié,Que vent amis, ce veut l'amieDunt est boine la compaignie,S'ele le veut è il l'otreit.Dunt la druerie est à dreit,Puisque li uns l'autre desdit,N'i a d'amors fors c'un despit;Assés puet-um amors trover,Mais sens estuet al' bien garder,Douçour è francise è mesure.
